If you're not using Mozilla Firebird you're not surfing the web you're suffering it
While it is true the IE is the holiest browser currently available, it also has an immense amount of incorrectly implemented features. Maybe I should start over...
IE has support for a large deal of things I wish were standard. However, too many internet bodies can't make decisions and standards are simply corrupted leaving Microsoft to run around generating their own sudo standards. As far as web development goes and building high quality, web-based applications (trust me, the backend to all sites I work on are served by one the last servers VA's sold) IE simply offers more flexability, creative applications, and...well, a larger userbase. While the application is inheriently flawed, the theory and principals are good and would only furthur extend the realm of creative outlets if there was one standard.
I don't suffer because I use IE or develop sites that don't run in Opera. I suffer wasting time making sure the stripped down version of these sites work in Mozilla.
If store X wants to carry product Y, which is made by manufacturer Z, store X must comply with demands set forth by manufacturer Z or not carry the product.
There's a minimum advertising price (MAP), which I'm sure Apple has set to the price you see advertised everywhere, under which case companies cannot publically extend a price discount below MAP.
Why is this even a story?
Clinton doesn't affect rate interest rate, that's the Fed's job...which you may note is totally indepenendt from either party's control. Clinton's policies had little to do with the size of the buble or its' velocity.
The FCC has already made up it's mind: it will hand over the business to the telco conglomerates.
I think you're missing the point. Who cares if the FCC decides to regulate things when the companies offering these services are beyond their jurisdiction.
You're claiming it's not part of a government plot, and next minute you're saying the government forced them to carry out their actions?
The government isn't forcing AOL to do anything. AOL is voluntarily doing it so that government laws are pressed upon the correct subjects and not themselves. It's the same reason manufacturers put seemingly obvious warning labels on their products.
That's the most assanine thing I've heard in the past ten minutes. Has your CTO not been to download.com and seen the loads of useless, poorly written "software"?
I'm not saying that any of the companies below actually employ the platforms listed in their VoIP applications/implementations, but I definately think it's interesting to see the comparison (IBM vs Mainstream Market).
Your comparing a technology with yet discovered possabilities to something that was designed for one reason: changing the color of lights so that emergency vehicles may act quicker, safer, and more effeciently in the face of traffic delays. I'm in no way saying the gov't should run around banning possible inventions, or uses of new technologies, but this is cut and dry. Invisible blinky light changes traffic lights.
Yeah, but a ban on devices that have the sole purpose of changing lights doesn't seem like something they should sit around and wait for companies to start selling to the public. It's not like they didn't know it was going to happen.
You may note that this story is a follow up about how legislatures are pissed. But then again, you may note that you didn't read the story before commenting.
Having your attempts to quell leaked info on your *insert*bad*business*practice*here* land on/. is not a good way to start -- there are how many thousands of other mirrors now?

If the application/implementation is flawed who gives two craps about the theory behind it?
Darling, did you miss capitalism?

Time is money; I don't have either.

Holy hell, WA5 is only using 2% of my CPU -- that's a 5000% decrease! ;)
So you're claiming that Apple is able to achieve economies of scale, while completely defeying its definition?
Interesting.
Whoops -- I really diced up that last line! Honestly though, the irony is coincedental :D
So wait...you're saying that Apple (out of all companies) is built upon a brand image, which is partically the reason why people will pay a premium?
/. story if you don't havn't studied common sense (aka micro-economics) ;)
Oh, this is basic micro-economics...or a

Wait 10 years...when the law automatically goes back to the way it was.
That's the most assanine thing I've heard in the past ten minutes. Has your CTO not been to download.com and seen the loads of useless, poorly written "software"?
Why don't we have articles titled "servers with no passwords vulnerable to attack" -or- "servers with backdoors subject to further compromise"?
:-)
I just submitted these...stay tuned
1. There aren't many state-owned phone companies left in the world due to "Structural Adjustment Programs"
Uhm, it's called cyclical economic changes. No need to be putting this in quotes like it's some super-evil/top-secret thing.

Does anyone have information on other corporate VoIP-PBX solutions?

There's a big difference.
Yeah, but a ban on devices that have the sole purpose of changing lights doesn't seem like something they should sit around and wait for companies to start selling to the public. It's not like they didn't know it was going to happen.

why these were legal for non-emergency sale in the first place?

Not to mention BitTorrent and eMule links.
